Re: Visual makeover for 'Gunther'
And finally some camo on the body too!
Changed the front a little, more green and added some brown.

My inspiration for the camo:
It ended up being a mix of these two, pattern-wise more like the lower one but not such a hard edge.

I wanted to work on the wood block
More grain in the wood
I re-blued the metal bands, the one on the right is 'after'

Re: Visual makeover for 'Gunther'
I chose tho minimalise the markings, especially since I am not re-creating an excisting tank. I chose this 'Panzer Lehr' marking because I like the bright yellow color, I like the position, and it is kind of how the markings on the Munster Panzermuseum Panther are.
Unweathered
With some more shading (all over the place) done with the airbrush using panzergrau

Re: Visual makeover for 'Gunther'
New set of tracks!
On the far right very, very nice spare tracks. See this topic for details on those and an extensive guide ho I weathered those:
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8061
I LOVE how these turned out, but... the track hangers are wider than these track-openings!
So I thinned the lower part down
Fits!
